Emily Bennett’s household is a recycling machine. There are four bins in a kitchen cupboard in her Upper Arlington home: one is for trash, two are for recyclables and the last is for plastic bags, which are returned to the grocery store. Bennett knows that Rumpke, which contracts with most central Ohio cities that have curbside recycling programs, doesn’t accept plastic bags. But a recent review of the family’s recycling bins by The Dispatch revealed that the Bennetts were unaware that some of the items they place by the curb are not being recycled.
